"With wave energy, there just hasn’t been the opportunity to test. And realistically, testing out in the ocean is far more difficult than testing on land," reporter Jes Burns told SciFri. That's just one reason why wave energy hasn't yet made a splash: buff.ly/rinHW2K

“That’s really tremendous progress, especially compared to other areas of the country or other areas globally where we’re seeing #wetland loss."

KQED joined our scientists in the field with the Wetlands Regional Monitoring Program, a partnership with @sfestuary.bsky.social.
The Bay Area is more than halfway toward its goal of restoring 100,000 acres of tidal wetlands, which are a natural buffer to floodwaters from future sea level rise.

The region now boasts 57,800 acres of restored tidal marsh
